Tired of the music scenes in Shanghai and Beijing?

Go to Wuhan. At least that is what Wang Li, lead singer of Beijing band Another Idea would suggest. "It's great," Wang said of Hubei's capital. "Really great. The atmosphere is better than Beijing. The vibe at shows is better than Beijing. The punks over there are really unified."

Watch for yourself in the premiere edition of Danwei Music, brought to you by our prolific neighbors to the north.

So, we have GigShanghai and rumor has it GigBeijing is on its way. Could GigWuhan be far off?

i just got back from wuhan researching/writing a piece on the punk scene there. pretty cool stuff.

the scene's epicenter is the VOX BAR: www.myspace.com/voxbar

they have shows more than once a week.

for all y'all in shanghai, I seriously recommend that you come check out wuhan's flagship act SMZB on saturday night.

however, before you pack up and move, it's worthwhile to know that there are several problems with wuhan, including

1)it is way too hot, even hotter than shanghai
2)it is way too big. ("wuhan" is the combination of three former cities.) from the center of town to the university district takes an hour.
3)eating at its famous night markets will leave even the hardy gasping for pain
